Marlboro Mountaintop

Just below Mt. Zion in Marlboro off of Mt. Zion Rd lies 5 acres of very private, pristine land overlooking the Hudson Valley below and the Hudson River.  Excellent location at a GREAT PRICE!  Similar properties in this area are selling for as much as $25,000 per acre.  Why such a great deal?  This property is accessed via a deeded Right-Of-Way from Mt. Zion Rd, but no one has used it in many years.  You’ll need to spend a bit to have a Surveyor come map out the Right-Of-Way but it will be well worth the effort.  If you are looking for a fantastic deal on a spectacular building site, you’ve found it!  Don’t wait, this unique property won’t be on the market long.

Parcel is moderately to heavily wooded, level to sloping with grand views over the valley possible with some tree clearing.  Electricity is available on the street.

Retail value: $80,872; Cash Price: $69,900.  Seller Financing available with minimum 50% down.
